As we all know, mankind in general has many defects, but our dogs still love us despite them. Probably one of the worse defects we humans have is our greed and selfishness, and unfortunately these have affected our friends the dogs. We live in a very fast paced society that is obsessed with speed and only we only show our gratification to the ones we love for a few mere seconds each day. There are cases of people that don't even know the breed of dog they have bought but that are perfectly aware of which is the dog that is in style and fashion for the season. If you ar

e thinking of getting a dog, you need to become educated about it. A person who is looking into it must know that dog's require a lot of attention and that they are a lot of work; a dog needs to eat and drink, be bathed, it needs attention, time and education, just like a child. Dogs get sick, become depressed, disobey too, just like kids; they bark, they mess things up, they dig, fight, throw farts, cry, howl, etc.

A dog is not something you can just acquire and then get rid of when you get tired…. a dog is to be kept and needs to become part of the family. A dog, whether you like it or not, is like having an adopted child, your own child. Dogs love and need love, they respond to love sincerely and unconditionally. A selfish person should reconsider getting a dog, and should certainly not have children either. Generally dogs that are around or live with these types of people are not happy and turn out to be nasty and problematic, and will very likely end up abandoned on the street. In the United States alone, about twelve million dogs are sacrificed each year. The amount speaks for itself. There are tons of dogs that end up living on the streets.

A new craze has come up and dogs are now the new fad and having one has become the latest style. We can see Hollywood stars, presidents, and princes etc who all have their favorite type of do

g. Obviously when these people show up on TV showing off their decked out dog, they attract the attention of the viewers and then all of a sudden everyone wants one of those dogs. These types of fads have been going on for years and are nothing new, the problem is that each time they become more extreme. Now, we are not saying that there is anything wrong with people wanting to pamper their dogs with luxuries, that's fine, the problem is that when there is so much demand for a specific dog, usually opportunists launch into this market without really knowi

ng about dogs, obviously these people are just trying to make a quick buck and these dogs are produced in mass. Keep in mind that dogs that are bred this way are usually the worse tempered ones; they have poorly structured bones such as their hips, they often times have all types of genetic health problems, all of which will cause a lot of suffering to the dog.

It's been proven that almost all the dogs that have become super popular have become ruined by so called inexperienced "breeders" who don't understand anything about dogs now how they reproduce etc. Look at the case of the almost schizophrenic Irish setter of the 70's, the small-headed Doberman of the 80's and so forth that have terribly affected these dogs. Fortunately though, there are serious and reputable breeders and that are set out to rescue and help dogs. These breeders have kept good representatives of the breed with the correct morphologies and balanced temperaments. Real breeders have been breeding before all these fad dogs came into the picture and will continue doing so after the fad is over. If you are interested in getting an in style dog, you will have to learn about them first. You will need to know about the breed, what they require, their character and aptitudes etc, Dog Potty Trainingbefore going to the pet store and pulling out that credit card. That cute little pup might just give you some big unexpected surprises like eating the leather in your car, or urinating and pooping in the living room…. oh, and don't be surprised if the veterinarian bills are higher than your mechanic bills.
